About Me
I am a San Diego guitarist available to provide background music for restaurants, conventions, weddings and similar engagements. I play American Songbook jazz (the kind of music performed by Tony Bennett, Billie Holiday and similar artists) as well as a few more modern tunes (The Eagles, The Beatles and the like.) Song samples are below. I can perform in the following formats:

• Solo instrumental guitar, either electric or acoustic.
• Solo guitar with vocals.
• As part of the early jazz vocal duo Birdy and the Bowtie.
• As part of an instrumental jazz trio of guitar, bass and drums.

Additional instrumentation combos are also possible. Just ask!

Experience
I’ve been playing music for 25+ years and have opened for major national touring acts. I routinely play various local festivals such as Adams’ Ave Unplugged, The San Diego Ukulele Festival and SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival. I am entirely professional and dress according to request. (I look pretty good with a bowtie!)
